The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Bounty hunter Hub Halloran has tracked his latest bail jumper to a seedy hotel when he is ambushed. Despite his best efforts, Hub’s throat is cut and he dies.
The next day Hub is resurrected. In short order Hub learns that…
- He really did die.
- “Lucky” Callahan, his wife’s boyfriend set up the ambush.
- He’s been brought back by the devil to kill demons that escape hell. Should he refuse to accept the jobs, then he will be returned to hell.
Hub now has two things on his mind, protecting his ex-wife and son from “Lucky” Callahan and killing the next demon to escape from hell.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
The series episodes are less than 30 minutes each. Not a bad way to spend half an hour.
Matlock: Season 1 (2025) earns 3 stars.
